ilkersevim_relative_time 0.1.3

Show compact chat and feed timestamps such as 3d, 2h, 5m, and now with one dependency-free Dart formatter.

ilkersevim_relative_time

Short relative-time labels for chat-style timestamps (3d, 2h, 5m, now). Dependency-free beyond the Dart SDK.

Why use this package?

• Keep compact timestamps consistent across chat, activity, and feed views.
• Avoid adding a localization or date-formatting dependency for four short relative labels.
• Inject now for deterministic tests and server-aligned clocks.
